{"product_id":"venus-needlepoint-canvas","title":"Venus, the Bringer of Peace","description":"\u003cp\u003eVenus in cream, gold, and soft amber: the planet as its cloud tops appear, drawn into the slow curving bands that sweep around it. This needlepoint canvas works the whole sphere in warm light tones, so the design reads as a single luminous body rather than a map of a surface—which is truthful, since the surface has never once been seen from Earth. Part of the Astronomy Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ancients counted Venus twice. Rising before dawn it was Phosphorus, the light-bringer; setting after dusk it was Hesperus, the evening star—two bodies with two names, until Greek astronomers recognized them as one planet caught at two points in its orbit. It remains the brightest object in our sky after the sun and the moon, bright enough on a dark night to cast a shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished as a framed miniature, an ornament, or one of a full Astronomy series, this canvas is especially lovely for anyone who has watched the evening star come out first and stay longest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e— Mesh count: 18\u003cbr\u003e— Skill level: Advanced\u003cbr\u003e— Canvas size: 8 x 8 inches\u003cbr\u003e— Finishing suggestions: Framed miniature, ornament, or a piece in a full Astronomy series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKIT OPTIONS\u003cbr\u003e1.
